More than 30 years ago, Dominique Lepoutre decided to go one step further in his passion for Provence and to start making use of its ressources in order to get closer to the soil and its people.
He went into partnership with a friend of his, who was particularly imaginative and they started to sell his innovations : honey with dried fruits, spicy chocolates, flower flavoured sweets... Following that path, they realised how good was the quality of the nearby raw materials, specially the fruits. Very soon after that, they specialised in jam production, starting with the dietetics ones, then the organics kind as well as the traditionals. The jam business remained in the family as it is now Dominique’s son, Pascal, who is in charge of the company and carries on with the commitment with qualiy that his father had chosen decades ago...

Confit de Provence is a specialist of fruit transformation. The company diversifies itsproductionby developingseveral ranges ofjams. In the 'gourmet' range, you will find the brands: Vergers des Alpilles, Merveilles en Provence andMerveilles Boutique. We have two Organic Jams brands: Vergers BIO and Confit de Provence. And the Confiturelle brand is either a light jam (100% made out of fruit) either a fruit spread with less sugar than a traditional jam (65% of fruits). We also produce premium compotes with bits of fruits: Les Compotées and a range of chutneys called Les Confits Gourmands mixing sweet and savoury tastes.

The Traditional Range:

Carefully selected, the chosen fruits are cooked in a traditional way with cane sugar to create a jam with a unique taste. As a result, you can discover original mixtures of flavours that form the charm of our jams.

The Nutritional Range

Confit de Provence uses all its expertise in the field of health and well-being to produce nutritional spreads 100% made out of fruits, with no added sugar; using only concentrated fruit juice, fructose and agave syrup.
These light jams can be found either as a conventional product : Confiturelle 100% or as an organic one called Confit de Provence 100%.
Following the same kind of concept, Confiturelle 65% of fruits is a range of original recipes with a higher content of fruit than a normal jam and thus a reduced concentration of carbohydrates. This combination greatly enhances the taste of the fruits and implies a lower sugar intake.

The Organic Range

Raw ingredients involved in the preparation of organic jams are certified by approved control bodies. Confit de Provence is certified by Bureau Veritas. Benefiting from over 30 years of experience, we have been able to develop partnerships with regional producers, cooperatives and wholesalers.
